New hope for eye cancer patients with liver spread: targeted chemo procedure shows promise
NCT ID NCT04728633
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026
Summary
This study tests a procedure called chemoembolization for people with uveal melanoma (an eye cancer) that has spread to the liver. Doctors inject a chemotherapy drug (BCNU) mixed with an oily substance directly into the liver's blood supply, then block the artery with a sponge-like material. The goal is to shrink or control liver tumors. The study includes 28 participants and tracks how well the tumors respond and how long people live.
